...Dual-rotation propellers (a double set of blades whirling in opposite directions) have withstood terrific tests, proved they will pay dividends on craft flying more than 350 m.p.h., help provide a better plane for maneuvering and accurate firing. >The Sikorsky-developed helicopter, with horizontally rotating blades overhead and small vertical blades on the tail, has reached the stage where its designer prophesies great value as an anti-submarine device, in liaison work and sea rescues.
